So its Saturday and i am up again at half past 6 to get ready to go to our double club session, quarter past 8 and i head across the road to see if Phil is ready then we were off to pick up Paul. Double club session in the classroom went brilliantly as usual and in no time we were outside for out practical session which was based on “first touch”.
The past few weeks have went by quickly, if we weren’t at school coaching we were at the beach watching the football or playing volleyball or we were at the horse racing. I have also been playing for a local football team which has been good! I have played 3 matches now for them, first was against a University team which we won 2-1, second was against a team from Canada which i really looked forward to and we won that 1-0 lastly was our first game of the season, leading down to poor refereeing we got beat 1-0. but surprisingly enough was my best performance out of the 3 matches.
Our sessions have varied the past few weeks also, from control to heading, shooting and volleying most of which went really well. But again the rain does cause a problem and leave us to cancel a few sessions. This week and some of last week have had a few issues with sessions going ahead as the secondary school sports is now taking place at the National Stadium. Meaning some of the pupils will be away participating and other watching, It is weird thinking that the main “sports” watched on tv back in Scotland is Football or golf etc… but here the main sport on tv is the School Sports!
All in all the sessions have been great and we are now left with 14days until the four of us are on our flight home.
